VSP 173

A life of lighthearted romance. A peace where no one hated him.

Sometimes he felt awkward seeing the “EX-rank” label in his status window, or felt a sense of emptiness where the missions used to be. It also felt strange not to see random posts online suddenly bashing him.

He did wonder if things were going smoothly in that other world, but there wasn’t really anything Sejun could do about it. All he could do was hope that everything had worked out.

Just that alone was enough to bring a happy life. Sejun was slowly getting used to that happiness.

[Is that really true?]

Just as he thought that, the system chimed in. Sejun, who had been lounging on the sofa, frowned.

Come to think of it, the system didn’t seem to be able to just let Sejun be happy.

“What? There aren’t any problems, and it’s peaceful.”

[There’s definitely a problem. A very big one remains.]

Sejun frowned. It didn’t seem like the system was making things up, but judging by that teasing tone, it sounded like another joke.

“What are you talking about…”

[You two haven’t had sex lately.]

Cough!

Sejun was knocked out by that unexpected uppercut.

[You said “starting today, we’re officially together!” and then you haven’t done it even once.]

“……”

Now that he thought about it, the memory of his own awkward confession made Sejun’s ears turn bright red, and he buried his head in the sofa cushions.

That’s right. After returning to Seoul, it seemed like everything had been resolved, but there was one thing that hadn’t been settled.

Cha Dogyeong wouldn’t make a move on Sejun.

If you asked if there hadn’t been any opportunities, honestly, there had been opportunities. No, actually, there were plenty. After all, they were coming and going between each other’s homes.

So Sejun had steeled himself in advance. He’d even secretly bought condoms big enough to fit Cha Dogyeong’s monstrous cock. Though he’d hidden them away out of embarrassment.

But despite his determination, Cha Dogyeong didn’t make a move on Sejun.

Casual, everyday physical contact continued without a second thought. Things like wrapping an arm around his waist or holding hands. But they never went any further than that. They didn’t even kiss, let alone have sex.

It was an incredibly innocent daily life, just like young students dating.

Sejun had dismissed it, thinking it was just the first few days or maybe he was just tired, but when that period stretched past two weeks, he began to worry.

This is strange. Cha Dogyeong isn’t exactly a monk, so why is he suddenly keeping his hands to himself?

But up until now, he’d tried not to think of it as a serious situation. “I’m not desperate,” he told himself. “Well, he has times like this too.”

It would be ridiculous to set a schedule, like “We have to do it at least once every few days!”

But as that period stretched past two weeks and into a full month, Sejun started to get really worried.

“……Why isn’t he doing it?”

[How should I know? I’m not Cha Dogyeong.]

“Don’t you have any idea?”

[Maybe Sejun-nim doesn’t turn him on anymore……]

Sejun’s heart dropped.

[That can’t be it.]

The system drew a line, insisting that couldn’t possibly be the reason.

“What makes you so sure about that?”

[From what I’ve seen, that person’s a little crazy too. He’s obsessed with you, Sejun.]

“What…….”

[Don’t dismiss what I’m saying, he’s seriously crazy about you.]

Even though he told him not to brush it off, Sejun did just that.

Crazy? Come on, that’s embarrassing. Sejun knew Dogyeong liked him, but calling him “crazy” was a bit of an exaggeration.

He decided to ignore the system’s words. Sejun’s expression turned serious again.

“Was it really that bad with me?”

[……How did you interpret what I said? Even if your sexual compatibility wasn’t great, Hunter Cha Dogyeong wouldn’t do that.]

To begin with, the two of you seemed to have great sexual chemistry…

Sejun could no longer hear the system’s mutterings.

Normally, he would have thrown a fit upon belatedly realizing that the system had been watching his entire intimate sex life, but he remained silent. The system sighed. It’s hopeless.

Sejun pondered the matter with a serious expression. Come to think of it, Sejun had always been passive during sex. Rather than actively trying to do anything, he usually just surrendered his body to Cha Dogyeong and let himself be rocked.

Sejun didn’t know much about relationships or sex, but it didn’t seem likely that his partner would enjoy him just lying there like a block of wood.

In short, maybe he wasn’t having sex with him because it was boring.

Of course, sex is purely an act of pursuing pleasure, so it’s hard to get bored just because he’s a bit wooden, though they hadn’t exactly had that many encounters…

As Sejun’s expression grew more serious rather than improving, the system added,

[Why are you so worried? It’s a bit awkward to say this, but that person would get turned on even if you just ate a banana right in front of him.]

“……Should I go buy a banana?”

[…….]

If the system were human, he would probably be holding his forehead right now.

[If you want to do it, just say so.]

“Is that okay?”

[You don’t want to?]

“No, it’s not that I don’t want to.”

Although he felt a bit embarrassed answering so readily, Sejun didn’t back down. There was no way he’d dislike being intimate with someone he liked.

……It is nice, actually. Even though it was embarrassing to be with Cha Dogyeong, he really liked the fact that he wanted him, and by the end, it felt so good he almost lost his mind.

[Then why don’t you try seducing him while you’re at it?]

Just as the system brought up that very topic, a message notification sounded, and Sejun checked his phone.

[Cha Dogyeong: I’ll come over tonight]

[Cha Dogyeong: Is there anything you want to eat?]

He’s no gentleman either. After a moment’s hesitation, Sejun requested bananas and some alcohol.

Despite the out-of-the-blue request for bananas, Cha Dogyeong replied with a casual “Okay” as if he didn’t think much of it. Then again, who would think that way just because someone asked them to buy bananas? Even though he was the one who asked for it, Sejun chuckled.

Seduction, seduction. It was a word that really didn’t suit Sejun, but right now, it was necessary. Sejun’s dilemma was quickly resolved.

Alright, rather than fretting over it, let’s just do it. The young man, having resolved to live his life honestly, decided without hesitation to seduce his boyfriend.

[Wait, that banana……]

Ignoring the system’s warning, Sejun spent the afternoon fretting before taking a shower early.

That evening, Cha Dogyeong entered Sejun’s apartment by entering the code as if it were second nature, his hands heavy with bags. It looked like he’d spent hundreds of thousands of won on groceries.

“For a guy who only has bottled water at home…”

Sejun shook his head.

“What did you feel like eating that you bought all this?”

“I just bought whatever caught my eye. You’re good at figuring things out no matter what I bring home.”

Anyone watching would think Sejun was a professional chef.

Sejun didn’t mind cooking. Seeing someone enjoy his food made him feel good, so he decided on the dinner menu without any complaints, based on the ingredients he had.

…Come to think of it, for the gathering the day after tomorrow, should I just say I’ll be the one cooking?

Would that seem like I’m showing off too much? After pondering this, Sejun decided to discuss it with Cha Dogyeong later.

Sejun slowly looked at the person he was supposed to seduce today.

He had definitely been wearing a suit this morning, but Cha Dogyeong must have stopped by his place to shower, because his hair, which had been styled was now let down, and he was dressed much more casually.

His face, as he rummaged through the grocery bags, looked stern, but he was so handsome that even celebrities would be put to shame. It wasn’t just Sejun’s rose-tinted glasses. It was a fact known to everyone that Cha Dogyeong was a cheat character who had it all.

The soft curls Sejun secretly loved, the bright brown eyes, and the chiseled features made him a handsome man by anyone’s standards. It had become Sejun’s benchmark for good looks.

And what about his body?

A massive frame that would intimidate anyone at first glance, lean yet defined muscles, the veins on his arms, and hands bigger than his own caught his eye. His body, rough yet delicate, was like a finely crafted sculpture.

“……”

He’d never put it into words, but Sejun loved Cha Dogyeong’s broad, firm chest. In fact, if he could, he’d love to give it a good squeeze at least once.

Should I try it today?

“What are you staring at?”

Sejun, who had been lost in fantasies, came back to reality thanks to Cha Dogyeong, who looked puzzled by his blank stare and spoke up, causing him to clear his throat.

“……Did you buy bananas?”

“Yeah.”

“Why bananas all of a sudden?”

Cha Dogyeong added as he handed them over. Sejun, who ended up receiving them, just scratched his cheek. Yeah, why?

As he held the bananas, Sejun belatedly realized that Cha Dogyeong smelled of his favorite body wash.

……Did he take a shower? On his way over here?

“Ahem.”

Even though he’d made up his mind to seduce Cha Dogyeong, Sejun felt even more sinister thoughts crawling into his mind, so he forced himself to clear his throat and took the groceries. But even so, he couldn’t help but feel a glimmer of hope that maybe today…

However, from dinner through dessert and all the way to setting up the drinks, Cha Dogyeong didn’t make a move on Sejun, and Sejun couldn’t bring himself to act on his resolve either.

It was all well and good that he’d decided to seduce him, but since he’d never done anything like this before, he lacked confidence. He didn’t even know how to go about it.

The system’s claim that Dogyeong would get turned on just seeing Sejun eat a banana quickly evaporated from Sejun’s mind.

He’d told him to buy some, and Cha Dogyeong hadn’t forgotten to bring back bananas… but… if the system had known, he would have let out a sigh of exasperation, though Sejun didn’t think that was likely.
